Prepare To Go Back To Westeros Because The 'House Of The Dragon' Teaser Trailer Is Here

Winter is coming (again). - by Jess Pullar
  • 06 May 2022

Winter is well and truly en route with the release date for Game of Thrones prequel, House Of The Dragon, officially set. 

Headlined by The Crown and Doctor Who star Matt Smith and Thoroughbreds' Olivia Cooke, the highly anticipated prequel will centre on the House of Targaryen, the very relatives of GoT's Daenerys Targaryen, who was famously played by Emilia Clarke. 

Following the explosive announcement that the prequel was set, die-hard fans have been drip-fed information about the new series—first stills, a trailer and release date included. 

Here, we collate that information in one place—read on for everything you need to know about House Of The Dragon.

What is House Of The Dragon about? 

The series will be based on George R. R. Martin's book, Fire & Blood, published in 2018. Set three centuries before the story of Game Of Thrones, the 10-part narrative will follow the origins of the House of Targaryen, shedding new insight on the lineage of the Mother of Dragons. 

The House of Targaryen, the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria, is led by Aegon the Conqueror. We'll watch as other generations of Targaryens fight to take up the same helm. 

Who is in the cast of House Of The Dragon?

Matt Smith (Doctor Who, The Crown) will play Prince Daemon Targaryen while Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One, Thoroughbreds) plays Alicent Hightower.

Joining them are Paddy Considine who will play King Viserys, Emma D'Arcy who plays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (with Milly Alcock portraying a young Rhaenyra Targaryen), Steve Toussaint who plays Lord Corlys Velaryon and Eve Best as Princess Rhaenys Velaryon. 

Where can you watch House Of The Dragon in Australia?

House Of The Dragon will be available to stream on BINGE. In its leadup, you can also watch the entire series of Game of Thrones on the streaming platform. 

When will House Of The Dragon be released? 

House Of The Dragon will drop on BINGE in Australia from August 22. Yes, it's a matter of months away—you can bet we're already planning our watch parties. 

We'll update this article as more information comes to light. 

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON premieres Monday August 22. Available to stream on BINGE and watch on FOXTEL.
